I'm not a breeder, but I do know that my mentor uses a beef broth mixture when puppies start to fade.
here is a recipe for it:
Fading Puppy Remedy
Here is a recipr for a beef liver broth that I have heard does wonders for fading puppies. I have used the recipe once, but it was on a 6 week old puppy, so, not technically what this article is about. but, the "remedy" worked so great! The puppy we almost lost is now 12 weeks old and thriving! I have heard other Breeders use this remedy on fading puppies and I have heard that it works.
Beef Liver Remedy For Fading Puppies
Large piece of Beef Liver - boil slowly in a small amount of water (5 minutes or
until the blood comes out).
Let cool-drain the liquid ONLY; 4 drops into a dropper and feed the weak puppy.
First dosage every 2 hours for 12 hours, then every 4 hours. Continue for however long needed until the puppy is thriving on its own.
Don't feed or use the liver itself, it is far too rich; use only the liquid
